It’s new book release day 🙌🏻 Just ordered my copy!

Review: Death Spell by David Sodergren | FanFiAddict Synopsis: “I won’t let death stop me.” 25 years ago, young businessman Ron Jarvis made a sinister deal that changed his life forever. The cost was high... b ...

Undeniably nasty, unapologetically virtual and steeped in something best left unidentified, “Death Spell,”by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social is a writhing, pulsing and coalescing “coming-of-rage,” story for readers looking to test limits… stomachs and gag reflexes.

Yesterday, I flew through all 200 pages of The Haar by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social. An excellent piece of horror with a cool creature, a cast of assholes you can revel in getting ripped apart, and a fucking awesome old, Scottish lady. Lots of gore and surprising romance! #horrorlit

Sounds great. I’ll check it out, always looking for a new game.

Oooh, what’s Deep Regrets?

Thank you!

Hi, they won’t be on Kobo, but in a few months you’ll be able to get the paperbacks at any bookstore.

Cover mock up for a book called A Row of Open Graves (And Nine Other Stories Of A Macabre Persuasion) by Jamie Evans. The cover image is an illustration of bodies in open graves with a beam of torchlight illuminating them.

I have written a book, available now. Have you ever wondered what M.R. James stories could be like with added exploding bodies parts? Well, you're in luck! (What do you mean, you haven't?) I've gone for a sweet spot between classy supernatural tales and 'eew, yuck'. CW abound, proceed with caution.

It’s the most graphically violent, I’d say.

Thrilled to announce my new novel DEATH SPELL will be unleashed on May 1st 2025!

This ultra-gory satirical splatterpunk madness — think John Waters meets HG Lewis — can be preordered on kindle right now, and the paperback will be available on the day.

The amazing cover art is by @maciejkamuda_art

You’ll have read them all soon!

Two of my fastest reads this year, both by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social. Two tonally different thrillers, read back to back in one sitting. Apart from a few bathroom and coffee breaks, the only time I paused was when my Kindle died, and I had to dig out my iPad.

I have seen it. Didn’t notice any particular parallels myself, but I wrote the book four years ago, so it’s not exactly fresh in my mind! 😂

Only in our dreams.

Thank you!

The Haar is one of the funnest novels I've read in awhile. It's Lovecraft meets Hellraiser meets The Thing. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys visceral body horror. @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social

Amazon doesn’t allow preorders for indie books published through their KDP program. It will be available tomorrow though, in paperback and hardcover.

David Sodergren streak continues. 5 books down, 5 more to go!

Aim is to read all the @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social releases by the end of this year and kick off the new year with some Carl John Lee for a change.

Hate to tell you, but it’s 6 more to go, because I have a new one out in two days. 😂

I'm about 90% into listening to the folk horror novel "The Haar" by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social , and out of nowhere, the name Bianca Del Rio appears. You never know where she'll pop up! Lol

Thank you.

You know what? I think we’ll be okay if that’s the case. 😁 A book where the main message is tell your friends and family that you love them, and tell them every damn day.

Thank you, Geoff!

Lol, that title’s not far off one I had planned for a while.

Here’s a handy guide to my published work so far, including my Carl John Lee titles.

They’ve dated really well, thanks to timeless cinematography and little reliance on dated effects. Some of them, like Kairo, are even more relevant today than ever.

Sensationally eerie Japanese folk-horror SHIKOKU (1999) may just be the most beautifully shot J-horror of the era. Part romantic melodrama, part ghost story, with plenty of chills and achingly gorgeous mountain vistas to set the longing, nostalgic tone. Wonderful stuff.

With its heavily manipulated image, J-horror ST JOHN'S WORT (2001) most closely resembles a PS2 survival horror game. I can see why some folk would hate this, but I adore the mix of point & click adventure, moody mansion exploration, and messed-up horror.

Psychotic Japanese splatter epic TOKYO GORE POLICE (2008) is like the offspring of Robocop and early Peter Jackson, a satirical sci-fi horror bloodbath drenched in spectacular gore effects. Arguably overlong, but undeniably insane, and with some truly unforgettable imagery.
